It's that simple

  • Three to five pulls, back to cooking.

    Sharpening and honing in one pass, with no heat build-up and no scratches on the blade.

  • Serrated & micro-serrated too.

    Bread knife, santoku, filleting knife: one device for the whole drawer.

    One angle range for European and Japanese blades.

Why Vulkanus

Four reasons the original exists.

  • 01

    Patented

    The only device of its kind. “Only the original is brilliant.”

  • 02

    93 HRC

    Sharpening elements harder than any blade, for a clean cut.

  • 03

    11–21°

    A universal sharpening angle, fine Japanese knives included.

  • 04

    Since 1985

    The original since 1985. Four decades of experience with a single idea.

The problem

A blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp one.

  • It slips, the most common kitchen injury.
  • It crushes instead of cutting, destroying fibres and flavour.
  • Re-sharpening is complicated: holding the angle, practising, honing steels, stones.
  • Serrated blades are next to impossible to sharpen at home.

Vulkanus solves it all at once:

  • Three to five pulls · razor-sharp. No practice required.
  • Sharpens straight and serrated blades in the same device.
  • No heat build-up, no scratches. The blade stays intact.

The process

Razor-sharp in three steps.

  1. 01

    Set it up

    Place it on a flat surface and hold it with your free hand.

    Set it up
  2. 02

    Pull it through

    Pull the blade through the slot three to five times with light pressure. The device holds the angle, not you.

    Pull it through
  3. 03

    Cutting

    Do the paper test and get back to cooking. Serrated bread knives come out sharp too.

    Cutting

You need neither whetstones nor practice. The device sets the right angle for you.

In detail

What makes the difference.

Key benefit

Straight + serrated

Vulkanus is the only device that sharpens straight blades, serrated edges and micro-serrations. You need no second tool.

In seconds

No angle to hold, no rolling, no practice. Three to five pulls will do.

Gentle on blades

No heat build-up, no scratches on the blade. Kind to the material instead of grinding it away.

Glass-fibre reinforced plastic

Housing in glass-fibre reinforced plastic. Light, rugged and dishwasher-safe.

Angle 11–21°

Suits everything from a fine Japanese blade to a rugged chef's knife.

Spare parts

Sharpening elements stay available and are changed in seconds. One device for life.
